Militants kill 6 Filipino soldiers
About 20 heavily armed Abu Sayyaf fighters opened fire on the soldiers
02 NOVEMBER 2014Abu Sayyaf guerrillas have killed at least six Filipino soldiers who were guarding a road project that has been delayed by militant attacks in the country's impoverished southern region.
Army Colonel Rolando Bautista said the soldiers were patrolling the
outskirts of a farming village on Basilan island's Sumisip town Sunday
when about 20 heavily armed Abu Sayyaf fighters opened fire, sparking a
45-minute battle.
He said he deployed additional troops to pursue the attackers.
The attack came as hundreds of troops hunted down Abu Sayyaf gunmen
after they freed two German tourists last month on nearby Jolo Island,
reportedly after a huge ransom payment.
